im trying out a new colour for now...to see if it'll be easier to read.....
anyway....im so so so piss off today! i went to sch early for lecture BUT i did not attend the lecture simplt because i went to the wrong venue.....
and im so so so pissed cos it means that now i have to go for the 4.15 one which will end at 5.15 and i really really want my sleep! thought that i could come back at 2 otherwise and just sleep till dinner but now!!!!!!!!!
nvm.... i could easily blame my timetable cos they gave me the wrong information abt the venue but alas, decided thta its more of my own stupidity.................. sheesh.....
anyway, eating pizza for lunch now...its not bad...and its really huge...so i guess i shall keep the muffin for tonight..... but dinner has its own desserts.... soso...what shall i do with it....
its rainy today...what a sad sad weather.....gloomy....chilly....miserable.... sigh....
i was freezing on my way back..... its been really cold for the past few days.... 2 of the coldest day i've experienced here.... i should have come in march.... at least i wont feel so miserable in summer.... it just emplifies ur homesickness.....
oh but i had the best sleep last night...there werent any door banging or stuff...which was going on for the past few nights but my dear neighbours.... at like what 2am in the morning? somehow they stayed in early yest night...which hopefully is a good sign...but they prob will go clubbing again come weekend so...argh! i should go buy some sleeping pills and take them on nights i know they are going clubbing and staying out late......
but last night was kinda fun...cos all of us went to Geoffrey's room...like 4 girls and 1 guy....tt lucky pig haha...and we were crapping for hours....he has like one of he biggest room in college and his own toilet and aircon! damn him....he just needs a TV in his room and we are all gonna camp in his room every night..... but he doesnt so yeah.....
shit need to go back to sch soon...and finish my lunch...... oh at least the sky's clearing....but its still cold :(

ok done with the call.... i miss my parents! boohoo....
oh yeah we had High Table just now....which is like a formal dinner...well pretty formal...which we will have every mondays and tuesdays.....
and its really amusing 'cos all of us hafta wear robes..... and it looks like a scene out of Harry Potter...we took some pictures after that so i'll try to post it up soon..... but the robes are kinda irritating cos the sleeves are huge so when u reach forward to get ur food, the sleeves will eat ur food too...
.......
but cos its not a very formal dinner, u'll get ppl wering like shorts and t-shirts and flip-flops(i did!) underneath the robes so its quite funny actually.....
oh well....i'm still deciding if i should stay on for another term...... we'll see how it goes...

2nd lecture of the day and i fell asleep.....not a good sign.....
but a good day nonetheless....i finally got my timetable sorted...well almost....but its a relief cos i had to run ard the whole day...getting lost and caught in the rain and stuff....on the ONE day that i didnt bring my umbrella......i cant take classical mythology anymore cos it clashes with a whole load of other things...... so its either anthropology or applied linguistics for me.....
felt kinda bad 'cos the peeps at the psychology department had to ponder overr my timetable before i could get it fixed...oh well, erm thanks?! but i probably have to trouble them somemore later due to the change of subjects....
so here i am...nibbling on my green apple which is really really acidic....and enjoying my freshly brewed IRISH breakfast tea......never heard of it before this but its pretty nice.... i didnt like english breakfast though...it has a really weird aftertaste.......
anyways....just watched Big Brother..... Trevor won!!! woohoo! but i liked Paul cos he looks like Lleyton Hewitt haha....but he was evicted yesterday so yeah...and Trevor was so so sweet! he proposed to his gf on the show after he was announced the winner....gosh...everyone in the tv room was like
yeah!!! and
gosh that's so sweet! and the tv room was so packed cos of it....compared to last night when i had it all to myself while watching f1....for a while....until kimi crashed.........damn it

"Leaving On A Jet Plane"
I'm ... I'm ...
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn
The taxi's waitin', he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
I'm ...
There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I'll tell you now, they don't mean a thing
Every place I go, I think of you
Every song I sing, I sing for you
When I come back I'll wear your wedding ring
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time, oh, let me kiss you
And close your eyes and I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times that I won't have to say ...
Oh, kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
And I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
But I'm leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
(Leaving) On a jet plane

"This Is Your Song"
Live your life to the fall
With a lifetime of smiles
Made us know right from wrong
Always knowing a lie
You made us to be tough
But never too rough
Rise above what you said
Never easily lead.
And one day we'll all sing along
'Cause this is your song
I wrote it for you
It won't take all day
Just a minute or two
You were a friend
Walk with you to the end
And one day we'll all sing along
'Cause this is your song
So I'll try and go on
Loving all that we know
Through the hardest of times
you put on a show
You made us stand tall
When all around us would fall
Even when you were alone
You believed you could fly
And one day we'll all sing along
'Cause this is your song
I wrote it for you
It won't take all day
Just a minute or two
You were a friend
Walk with you to the end
And one day we'll all sing along
'Cause this is your song
And one day we'll all sing along
'Cause this is your song
We wrote it for you
It'll take all our lives
Just to help us get through
You were a friend
Walk with you to the end
And one day we'll all sing along
'Cause this is your song

"No Goodbyes"
Yeah no more tears, no more goodbyes
Don't you know it's time for me to go
Even though it hurts to see you cry
But don't you know you'll never be alone
If you hold me deep inside (oh yeah)
You know that Iwould rather stay
But now before I turn away
There's one last thing to you
I want to say
[Chorus]
Baby there's no goodbyes
I'll always be right by your side
I may be far away
You know that my heart will stay, with you, always
Now I've pictures in the distance
Even though it seems a million miles
But there'll be no space between us
I'll be there everytime you close you eyes. Yes I will (oh)
You know that I would rather stay
But now before I turn away
There's one last thing to you
I want to say
[Chorus]
I don't wanna say words that people say
Cos when I go, my love will stay
In the heart of you to help you make it trough
Baby that is why there can be no. No goodbyes
[Chorus x2]
You know what no more goodbyes

Federer is just way too good... so the score dun reflect well on Hewitt.. if im not wrong its 6-1 6-7 6-0 6-4 to Federer... the games were pretty tight though... Hewitt really ran his ass off on court... boy is he fast! but well, not enough against federer... oh well!
at least roddick's thru...
anyway...
THANK GOODNESS FOR GUYS!
no i havent had a change of heart/mind/attitude towards guys... they are still jerks... but yeah without them, i would probably have gone on a massive massacre of computers and alikes now... i hate computers! i just cant seem to figure them out! thanks tim for being patient with an idiot like me when it comes to computers... i finally managed to connect to the net... though there are still so many things i cant figure out... so yeah thanks in advance to lester for coming over this weekend to help me get things sorted... but i'll still want my present and i'll still kill u if u screw my damn laptop up.
past few days has been well... interesting...to put it...
pat came down to sg with her family and family frens... and me and her fren were supposed to be the tour guides... although we prob suck at that haha... sorry pat! considering we were, for half the time, as lost as they were.... lol... and i never knew certain places existed in sg!
but yeah its been interesting.... embargo...sentosa(i finally went to underwater world! and i touched a starfish! *pats own head* so proud of myself *satisfied grin*) FULLERTON! what can i say pat? nothing! it says it all! oh the bea-UUUUUUUUUU-tiful memories! lol!
other than that... i had to WORK! can u believe it! my aunt wouldnt even let me off after i quited! hmpf! she wanted me to work for a week and i had the shock of my life when i heard it... but i was like nnnnoooooo waaaaayyyyyy, although obviously! i could reject her totally! so i brought it down to 3 days...today was the last day! yippie! but it was boring either way... i would rather take care of my cousin for her...but that's cos i adore him...and he's not some screaming-screeching kid....
yest was quite ermm eventful.... its another of those days where u go "oh *high screechy voice* hhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiii! how are you!?! oh, so where are you going for uni??? blah blah yakaty-yak...." as u walk down orchard road... was with joyce and jess...and gosh lets see who i bumped into... there's yunwen(tk junior) joyce(ex-colleague at cali deli) jasmine A02, berwine and chelsea, lufang and jorraine and the list continues...
